What's happening to the meta in the next update? Condor, Raptor, and Dux are getting nerfed and Samjok with the new shotgun weapons are making a massive commotion in the game. A robot boasting a 20 second phaseshift is unheard of. Paired with the new drone and shot gun weapons, Samjok can travel large distances in a short span of time and one tap enemy bots while immediately going back into phaseshift with the phaseshfit module. One on one Samjok reigns supreme. Thankfully unless its FFA, War Robots is a team game so 2 should be enough to kill Samjok...right?
With the nerf on the 3 current meta bots, what bots will rise to take their place? Condor's damage, speed, and heal are being nerfed, so if it was a 10 in the current meta, it would turn into a 6 in the next patch. Raptor likewise will go from a 10 to a 6 Dux on the otherhand, is the most likely to stay in the meta still, staying at a solid 8 or 9 after the patch. Teleportation bots on the other hand, paired with the new shotgun weapons, will rise in the meta. Shenlou and Scorpion with the new shotguns will one shot all robots and possibly even contend against titans. The new shotgun weapons are basically the current Ruiners and Anguishers but more damage and able to be put on bots.
A new titan is also being introduced to the game. Like previous patterns, this new titan should rise to the #1 in titan rankings. With Mauler's nerf, Indra and Luchador should rise to the top 5 titan rankings, possibly holding the number 2 and 3 spot.
All these are just speculation for now, and only time will tell how the meta changes.
